On Monday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah presided over a high-level meeting to address the escalating violence in Manipur, as per sources. This meeting marked the second consecutive day of discussions led by the Home Minister regarding the state's security situation.

Amid rising escalations in the region, the Home Ministry made a decision to further boost the security presence in Manipur. The Home Minister instructed state police officers and the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) to uphold peace and order in the area as he reviewed security deployment in Manipur during the meeting. The Centre is sending an extra 50 companies of the CAPF to the state, following the earlier deployment of 20 companies. This brings the total number of CAPF units being mobilised to 70, aimed at maintaining law and order in the state.

Meanwhile, in a significant political turn of events, eight prominent office bearers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Jiribam Mandal in Manipur have tendered their resignations, citing dissatisfaction with the ongoing situation in the region. In a collective resignation letter addressed to the BJP Manipur Pradesh leadership, the members voiced their grave concerns over the "unfortunate and helpless circumstances" prevailing in both Jiribam and Manipur at large. 

Among those who have resigned in large numbers include BJP executives and well-known office holders Jiribam Mandal- Mutum Hemanta Singh, General Secretary; P. Biramani Singh, General Secretary (Organisation); Mutum Brojendro Singh, Executive Member; Th. Meghajit Singh, Executive Member; L. Chaoba Singh, Executive Member; and K. Jadu Singh, President, are among the other members.  In their resignation statement, the leaders pointed out the escalating crisis in Jiribam and the larger context of the unrest in Manipur. The collective decision to resign stems from the ongoing ethnic tensions and law-and-order crisis, exacerbated by a lack of effective governance and resolution. These resignations come at a time when the BJP-led government in Manipur faces intense scrutiny for its handling of the prolonged ethnic conflict in the state. 

The unrest has not only led to the displacement of thousands but has also raised concerns about the ability of the state leadership, under Chief Minister N. Biren Singh, to address the crisis. This move may indicate growing dissatisfaction within the BJP's grassroots leadership in Manipur, potentially diminishing the party’s influence in the region. The resignation of eight BJP office bearers from Jiribam Mandal underscores the mounting pressure that the ongoing crisis has put on the party's local leadership. As the state continues to battle political and social unrest, this development adds further complexity to the challenges the BJP faces in the region.
